Qin Liuxi clutched the back of her head, her face half darkened.
A sudden collision hurt the most.
Chen Pi was also startled and first asked if Qin Liuxi was all right, then opened the small door connected to the carriage shaft and asked in a deep voice, “Brother Li, what happened?”

He didn’t blame him, knowing that Li Cheng wasn’t a reckless person.
“Someone suddenly jumped out to stop the carriage; is the young master all right?” Li Cheng turned around and looked at Qin Liuxi, his eyes somewhat regretful.
“No problem,” Qin Liuxi replied, looking outside. Well, there he was.
“Are you not Master Buqiu? My young master invites you,” Ying Nan stepped forward, making a respectful bow, though his tone was somewhat resentful and gritting his teeth.
This person had made them suffer miserably yesterday.
Qin Liuxi opened the carriage door, looked at Ying Nan, and saw the dark circles under his eyes and his pale complexion. She knew he had spent a miserable night in that Wanhuai Forest.
Serves him right!
Qin Liuxi felt no sympathy at all and said, “You’ve got the wrong person, Li Cheng, let’s go.”
“Hey.”
Li Cheng pulled the reins to drive the horse away, but Ying Nan urgently blocked their way, “Master Buqiu, we sincerely seek medical help; would you let someone die without helping, and still call yourself a doctor?”
“Ying Nan.”
Ying Nan backed off with a slight bow, “Master.”
Qi Qian walked forward and bowed with his fists joined towards Qin Liuxi, “I am Qi Qian. I haven’t managed them well and let the master see a joke.”
Qin Liuxi sat in the carriage, resting her chin in one hand, and said, “You really don’t manage them well; with this kid’s mouth yapping away, walking outside, he’s bound to get himself beaten up!”
Ying Nan: “!”
Wasn’t I forced by you?
Qi Qian said, “The master is right. But didn’t you already teach us a lesson yesterday?”
Qin Liuxi feigned innocence, batting her eyes, “What are you talking about, what lesson? Hey, I say, Young Master Qi, you can’t just speak recklessly. I am a law-abiding, first-class good citizen, innocent and upright. I won’t accept the dirty water you’re throwing on me!”
“Wanhuai Forest!” Ying Nan couldn’t help but say, “Do you dare say you didn’t intentionally lead us in there and trap us?”
Qin Liuxi clapped her hands and said, “Wanhuai Forest, ah, this Young Master Qi, you must be from out of town, right? Did you happen to enter Wanhuai Forest around dusk?”
She jumped down from the carriage and stood in front of Qi Qian, her face full of sympathy, “Young Master Qi, you’re an outsider and did not know. We, the people of Li City, all know that this Wanhuai Forest, around dusk, is best not entered. Why? Because of the name, of course!”
Huh, the name?
“The character for huai, ghost leans on wood, and the locust tree tends to attract yin. Just look at that one character for ghost, and you’ll know, let alone thousands upon thousands of locust trees. Once you break it down, isn’t it just a ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest’?” Qin Liuxi said sympathetically, “So, this Wanhuai Forest also has another name, ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest.’ At dusk, when the sun sets, it’s the time for those good friends to come out. Entering their territory is courting death, isn’t it?”
Qi Qian and his companions turned pale.
So, the wailing they heard all night last night wasn’t just an illusion?
“We locals won’t enter Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest during that time. After all, there’s a balance of yin and yang. Once you go in, you can’t be sure you’ll come out. If you get out, it’s because the people are generous. If not, all you can do is wander in place.” Qin Liuxi said, smiling widely, “You’re out; you’ve met good people, or rather, good ghosts. It’s truly a blessing!”
Ying Nan: “…”
Master, if you want to punish, just punish. I’ve never seen such serious nonsense. My hands itch, and I want to draw my sword!
